16x Microsoft MVP livestreams Personal AGI: five tools and Markdown to make agents compound knowledge
dfinke · x · 2026-09-10
Doug Finke, a 16-time Microsoft MVP and creator of ImportExcel/PSAI, is livestreaming a "Personal AGI" experiment for the New York Agentic AI Meetup on running AI agents on your own infrastructure that compound knowledge over time.
- Core idea: your work becomes a library, and the agent must find the right book at the right moment—organizing, searching, and retrieving from a knowledge base it owns
- Deliberately minimal stack: a tiny harness, five basic tools, Markdown, and one LLM, to find how little machinery is needed before an agent acts like it has a brain you own
- Echoes Garry Tan's description of G-Brain as "the library plus the librarian" and Andrej Karpathy's LLM Wiki blueprint
- Deeper code, prompts, retrieval choices, and provenance questions continue in his paid Agentic AI Forge community
